The methodological bases and methods applied followed the internationally accepted standard procedures in food analysis by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC). From the results obtained, the oil had a lipid content of 12.32% and a considerable value of carotenoids averaging 490.69 μg.100g­1 in the fruit pulp. The result of the chromatographic profile of the Muruci oil presents as major constituents the acid oleic acid with 45.7% and linoleic acid with 15.3%, linolenic acid is present, but in a small amount about 0.015%. From the quality index of the lipid fractions of the murici oil we obtain the following results: Atherogenicity index: 0.47; Thrombogenicity index: 1.05 and Hipo / Hypercholesterolemic ratio: 1.91. In view of this it was possible to conclude that muruci oil has a great nutritional and functional potential. The presence of a lipid profile consisting mainly of unsaturated fatty acids of the omega series (ω­9, ω­6 and ω­3) shows Muruci oil to be of considerable relevance in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases with antithrombogenic, inflammatory and hypocholesterolemic.Acesso AbertoValor nutricionalFuncionalByrsonima crassifolia LNutritional valueFunctionalByrsonima crassifolia LCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::NUTRICAOTrabalho de Curso - Graduação - Monografia
